So finally you all will get really close to photorealistic picture.

I really dislike over use of capitalization but...

Dear Oleg,

In your statement, is " close to photorealistic" due to the limit of SOW's engine, or actual PC/graphic cards power ?
Do you contemplate a total photorealistic picture, up to your own expectations in a few years with more powerfull PC and SOW's engine at full throtle ?

Still, I am confident that what we will get at first release will be amazing !

SAlute !

Thanks Oleg for making the cockpit clickable!!! It is a feature I like a lot the few times I fly FSX.

I also like to look around by moving the mouse. I really hope there is some way to have both...maybe by clicking on a mouse button to toggle between an 'activation' mode and a 'view' mode? (The view would have to be locked for activation odf switches).

If they implement it like they did in X-Plane, it's just a left click on the mouse to switch between the two modes.

I thought you had to hold the spacebar down at the same time as moving the mouse, to look around. I never found a way around that. It meant you needed 3 hands!!
(it's been over a year since I played it - my memory might be bad).

Any tips are welcome.

I use the CH throttle which has a mini joy stick, that I assigned as a mouse for looking around using their software to configure speed and sensitivity. Naturally I still have my other mouse for the other mundane chores...using my left thumb, the mini stick is actually better and smother than the mouse, I recommend it very highly.

Is is because of the resolution or do I read "Luftschrauba" here? It should be "Luftschraube" instead.

oleg,

that picture looks very very good indeed ! and very nice detail in the scenery seen from lower level altitude (like the other shots from last week, but they were in clearer light).

the in cockpit shots are amazing, bellisimo, magnifico !! pretty stunning detail and realism, the dials and controls look so real its like we can touch them ( and with clickable switches we can )

thanks for all the effort and hard work, it's all coming together now it seems !
